Rule #1 never count another man's pockets. Nobody should tell anybody what they paid for what they got. To justify someone else's curiosity. This is the craziest crap I've seen in a long time. Maybe these guys are planted by the competitors. That's what it sounds like to me. The venom that is spewed sound like it comes from snakes. Lol. They come here. They haven't listened to the product. They then rant about the cost. Then they say they have an "ANONYMOUS" friend who is not being named that bought cables from someone. Then they an "ANONYMOUS" dealer who heard them and said they were ok. They still haven't heard them. This is complete lunacy.@ddraudt@tbg sometimes the trolls want us and others to eat the baloney sandwiches and not complain. Well I don't want baloney or spam sandwiches. We are coming on here discussing everything under the sun but comments from posters who actually didn't listen to the cables to tell us whether they are good or not. I've learned that when a brand is up and coming some folks send guys to challenge or disrupt the success or positive vibe by coming into the thread to crash it. Think about this people have went back in time like they did homework to post comments from others months ago. I'm so glad that I'm getting out of this hobby soon. These guys act like 7 year old kids who had too much sugar after nap at school and now they can't control themselves. This is sad. They probably have been sent by dealers who are losing sales out to high fidelity. I've seen this on threads a number of times. Sometimes this industry can be full of jealousy and envy. If you shake up the apple cart with something new people want to kick it down. Still the best answer I have gotten is a friend heard them and told me. What the hell is that? Then to comment on price. Wow I don't see these people on the other high end cable threads saying one word. Now they want to tell a company how much to charge for a cable they never heard.lol. If you don't spend at that level then don't buy it. Go to radio shack and be happy. If you can afford and it works then just go do it if you like it. I have never heard anyone discuss what they paid for anything. It ain't there business want anybody paid. The damn Internet is really something. If someone got a deal then that shows them that they are right and at the same they say I'm not paying more than getting radio shack supplies. Well we should get you a Christmas gift card there. This is a damn joke. Calling people plants etc. it's flat out disrespectful and nutty. @ddraudt sorry I fed the trolls today. I had a listening session last night that was up there with one of the best smaller systems that I ever heard. We all agreed that if high fidelity came out with another cable that sounded better we might not want to try it so that we would not be tempted to upgrade. Lol. I listed for 5 hours with friends over. They love the sound. They didn't care about who these ghost writers on audiogon. They just pushed play. The sound went through the high fidelity and out the speaker and a funny thing happened. They actually HEARD the cable and music hit their ears. It was followed by head bobs, rocking back and forward and something I call a the "hayena music hit the bone marrow yell of joy" the last one is hard to explain. Lol. Happy listening is what we had yesterday. Happy listening to all. I'm dropping the mic and walking off stage. Lol.
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
In December 2011,I wrote that High Fidelity cables led by cable designer Rick Schultz was putting together a new cable.The cable came to market as CT-1.The CT-1 has FINALLY made it into my system!I had obtained a version of the prototype that Rick had been working on.It blew my previous reference Genesis by Virtual Dynamics.I thought I had finally found my end with this cable.This prototype delivered to my ears "Nirvana".Could I be at the end of my quest for the ultimate sound?
No. I received two pairs of CT-1 to replace my prototypes.They went into the system this past Friday.Unable to dedicate time until Sunday listening,I stole a few moments,ducking away from company with anticipation.My guest could tell even with the music set for"ambiance"something was intriguing and I was in for a treat!
The experience:
First off,CT-1 was very user friendly.Installation was simple;the cable is very nice and light.The female RCA fit beautifully unlike any I had found in other cable.It was secure and reliable.It seemed much thought was dedicated to developing a designer fit to an aesthetically stunning RCA connector.Install entailed a few wiggles to ensure what seemed like a compression fit on my RCA.
It was 2-3 hrs. for the 1st step of break in to be complete.At that point I had something different!Today,although they only have 10-12 hrs. on them,I can`t put into words how much my system has transformed.Believe me,I loved my prototypes.However....there is simply no comparision.
The clarity and sound is so natural.
The soundstage is like nothing I ever heard.Resoulution is breathtaking and inner detail is simply hard to believe possible.
The sound has transended and now it simply does not seem as thought I have speakers.
My system is musicians playing music.
I am told with time they will improve and I trust that as it was revealed with the prototypes.I wanted to share my thoughts with you that now.
Unequivocally,a testament to High Fidelity,as the name declares.
High Fidelity Cables for me,the last word on it,after 12 hours!
Truly Amazing
